What types of clown knifefish fishing trips are common in Florida?

Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for clown knifefish in Florida as well as river fishing, flats fishing, and inshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Florida are light tackle fishing, artificial lure fishing, and live bait fishing but sight casting and topwater fishing are popular as well.

How much does a Florida clown knifefish fishing trip cost?

Prices for clown knifefish in Florida can range anywhere from about $400 to $1,800, but the average price for a half day trip for clown knifefish in Florida is $715. The average price for a full day trip for clown knifefish in Florida is $1,181.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Capt Brian was fantastic. I took my two boys and we caught fish all day. Five different species of fish including 2 big clown knife fish. Capt was professional, knowledgeable and had everything we needed on the boat for a great day of fishing. I strongly recommend Capt Brian for a great day on the water.

    Our trip for Peacock bass with Captain Carlos was one of the best we've been on. He is very knowledgeable and extremely efficient when it comes to keeping bait on your hook and the boat just where it needs to be. We will definitely be using his services again!

    Captain Charles is the MAN. Can't ask for much more when it comes to a fishing charter. Took us to all the hot spots he knows about. Kept fresh bait on our lines from start to finish. Good music playing. And most importantly just a good wholesome dude who's easy to get along with and happy to help us! Would recommend to anyone trying to catch some fish while in the area!
